We developed this website to make it easier for citizens and communities to understand the regulatory process and to participate in Government decision-making.</p> <h3 id="legal-status">Legal Status</h3> <h6>FederalRegister.gov Website</h6> <p>The OFR/GPO partnership is committed to presenting accurate and reliable regulatory information on FederalRegister.gov with the objective of eventually establishing the XML-based Federal Register as a publication officially recognized by the Administrative Committee of the Federal Register. While we try to ensure that the material on FederalRegister.gov is accurately displayed, consistent with the official PDF version on<a href="https://www.govinfo.gov/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Govinfo.gov</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, those relying on it for legal research should verify their results against an official edition of the daily Federal Register. This site will remain an unofficial informational resource until the ACFR grants it official legal status.</span></p> <p>The <a href="https://www.federalregister.gov/public-inspection/current">Public Inspection</a> page on FederalRegister.gov offers a preview of documents scheduled to publish in future issues of the Federal Register. The official version of a public inspection document is filed at our office in Washington, D.C.</p> <h6>eCFR.gov Website</h6> <p>The annual Code of Federal Regulations, supplemented by Federal Register documents, is the official source for all Federal agency regulations. As a service, OFR provides a daily codification of CFR contents on eCFR.gov. The content of eCFR is authoritative but unofficial. While we try to ensure that the material on the eCFR is accurate, those relying on it for legal research should verify their results against the most current official edition of the CFR, the daily Federal Register, and the List of CFR Sections Affected (LSA), available online. A separate drafting site is available with paragraph structure matching the official CFR formatting. If you work for a Federal agency, use this drafting site when drafting amendatory language for Federal regulations: <a href="https://drafting.ecfr.gov/">drafting.ecfr.gov</a>.</p> <p>You can learn more about OFR’s official Federal Register publications, including legal status and how to at access at the <a href="https://www.archives.gov/federal-register/publications">Office of the Federal Register</a> page on the National Archives’ official site</p> <h6>Copyright</h6> <p>Any person may reproduce or republish any material appearing in any regular or special edition of the <em>Federal Register</em> (1 CFR 2.6). There are no restrictions regarding what is reproduced, who can reproduce it, or where it can be reproduced.</p> <h3>Enhanced Content</h3> <p>In this HTML version, <em>Federal Register</em> and <em>Code of Federal Regulations</em> documents are organized and displayed in an easier to read format with extensive navigation aids and links to related material, such as the <em>Code of Federal Regulations</em> and the <em>United States Code</em>. We also added various web tools and user aids designed to help people find material relevant to their interests, such as broad topical sections in six areas of interest, suggested searches for trending items, agency “home pages” that list every Federal Register document published by an agency and its sub-agencies, and the ability to view changes to CFR over time.</p> <h3>Public Inspection</h3> <p>FederalRegister.gov hosts the electronic <a href="https://www.federalregister.gov/blog/2015/06/what-is-public-inspection">Public Inspection</a> list. Although we make a concerted effort to reproduce the original document in full, in some cases graphics may not be displayed, and non-substantive markup language may appear alongside substantive text. If you are using public inspection listings for legal research, you should verify the contents of documents against a final, official edition of the <em>Federal Register</em>. Only an official version of the <em>Federal Register</em> document provides legal notice to the public and judicial notice to the courts under <a href="http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/USCODE-2009-title44/html/USCODE-2009-title44-chap15.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">44 U.S.C. 1507</a>.
